A Practical Approach to Developing and Implementing Projects to Reduce GHG Emissions. Participants develop and implement projects to reduce and report greenhouse gas emissions and meet international best practice standards, protocols and regulations.

Course Format: Public Course / Instructor-Led / Open EnrollmentSchool/Trainer: University of Toronto School of Continuing StudiesTraining Center(s)/Venue(s): Toronto, CanadaV

Participants will develop the tools, processes and best practices needed to measure and report greenhouse gas emissions and meet international best practice standards, protocols and customer demands

This "hands-on" process will cover the fundamental concepts, analytical tools, and methods that senior managers, directors and corporate "change agents" will need to succeed in a carbon constrained economy. Participants will come away with the ability to develop, within their organization the tools, processes and best practices needed to measure and report greenhouse gas emissions.

This course provides an overview of the World Resources Institute (WRI) Greenhouse Gas Protocol Initiative and describes various components of a climate-related strategy. It will summarize the critical steps for the firm to develop a successful carbon strategy across its boundaries, which includes assessing emissions and exposure to climate related risks, evaluating action options, setting goals and targets, developing financial mechanisms, engaging the organization, formulating policy strategy, and managing external relationships.

Fleets motivated by making vehicle and fuel choices that have the greatest environmental benefits need the evaluation tools offered by an emissions well-to-wheels analysis. This analysis looks at different scenarios using alternative fuels and alternative technologies for vehicles. It begins with the â€ťwellâ€?where the feedstock is first extracted and concludes with the power finally delivered to the wheels of the vehicle. The assessments look at battery electric, hybrid electric and fuel cell vehicles as well as those powered by biodiesel, ethanol, natural gas and propane.
